Wax Wing (1 Viewer)

[Davemed]

While walking over a railway Bridge at Northwich Station, twitchers were photographing a group of Wax Wings from Sweden eating apples near an old unused signal box. Evidently, they are rare to see here.

My digital camera was useless for this close up work and I asked a chap would he email a photograph. He kindly did. How kind.

He sent me this by email.

Excellent.

Hello CB,

Actually it was two or three years ago and it was in February-March.

Evidently I was told by the chap who sent me the photograph, word had got round the Wax Wings did not usually show up so far from home. Hence all the twitchers on the scene.

Waxwings are annually seen in Cheshire but in some years we get 100's but in others we only get a handful.

I would say Waxwings are among the "Top 10 british birds" of most birdwatchers.
